You are AMAZING, Charlie! Few people could take a little hobby and turn it into a large, global venture that brings joy to so many people…in addition to being a business that brings in income. Bravo, my friend! Off to check out the new non-toxic paint you’ve created. 💙

Congratulations, Charlie!! The colors in this palette are scrumptious!!! Just bought myself an early Christmas present….hehehe. Love today’s painting too, Vintage Florida!!!

I love everything you have done recently and just wanted you to know that Charlie – I have just really been busy. 😉 I love this old camper – lol. The colours are delicious and I absolutely love the new blue Charlie O’Blue – AWESOME!! I immediately went to Amazon.ca to see if they had either the palette or the paint (we cannot get things from the US here in Canada even the UK is a problem. Shipping, brokerage, customs, duty we get dinged on both sides of the border making it impossible so most of my shopping is done either local, Canada or China. 😉 lol But it will be wonderful if it comes here somewhere. I will hunt for it in Canada and see if I can find an art store selling it. I can’t even get the dot samples because when I tried to order dot samples before from Da Vinci I was told they couldn’t ship to Canada. I don’t blame them. Although, why businesses can’t toss something that small in a regular white envelope I don’t really understand. However, it is what it is 😉

Congratulations, Charlie! I’ve already put in my order. This will be the first time I miss my blog. I’ll have to think of some way to do a decent review without it, since you usually don’t have me review your products at Doodlewash.

So cool Charlie

Charlie O’Blue…I love it! That’s great Charlie. So glad your adventure in watercolor has led you to where you are today. Thanks for sharing it all!

Charlie O’Blue!! Brilliant!! Congrats, Charlie! You really are always up to all-good! Okay go and have a special treat (tell Philippe Linda says so and that he can share).

I love that name for the blue, Charlie. Congratulations on this set.

That’s a beautiful blue!!

Thanks so much, Mugdha! 😃💕 Hehe… yeah, I was so happy they let me call the color that. It just seems to fit! And yes, Charlie O’Blue is used in the camper and I’ve actually been using it since I sketched penguins a couple months back, but wasn’t able to reveal it yet! And hopefully one day I’ll get my chance to enjoy a camper trip… it sounds so relaxing and rejuvenating!! Much love to you! ❤️

Thanks so much, Shawn! 😃💕 Glad you enjoyed this!

The east wind has started blowing here, and Mt. Hood is finally covered in snow again, and we’ve even had some measurable snow, which is unheard of here this time of year! I’ve already been listening to ‘It’s a Mean One, Mr. Grinch! My brother’s coming to visit for Christmas, so all in all it’s going to be a wonderful holiday season!

I love it! This is my favorite time of year. Enjoy the time with your family and friends. Life goes by way to quickly!

This sweet cat looks so proud of his drumming!!! Nice one, Charlie!

Such an adorable doodlewash! And speaking of adorable, I watched the segment of you in the event that David Drazil put together, and you are as adorable as I thought you would be. 💙 Your class was lots of fun, too!

That’s a great doodle, Charlie. Over the years I’ve tried to play a few musical instruments without success. I’m quite to enjoys listening to others playing though.

“Like many types of art, when we fail to practice, it’s rather easy to lose interest..” That was so true for me. Luckily for me, I found Doodlewash early on in my watercolour journey. .

Dear Marisela it will be your turn the second you take a step towards your goal. I bet your ornaments are lovely!

Charlie I put up my tree near the end of November too. And the morning I get up and think the tree looks out of place, it is down within an hour which hour is between Dec. 24 and 26. Have fun, you two and Elliot too.

Hola, mi amiga! 😃💕 That’s a GREAT start!! Wonderful to hear! And oh my goodness… Cracker Barrel gift shop?? That’s the best! They’re always outside the city so I’m usually safe, but sometimes we’ll go when we visit my family. At Christmas it’s just not fair! hehe Love you much! ❤️

Thanks, Mugdha! 😃💕 So you caught that color palette I snuck in, eh? hehe I’m sooo ready for the season! And, I do hope you’ll get to live all of those memories again. And as for the tree lighting… It would definitely have to be from memory and bits of imagination. I love really being in the moment, so I don’t even take pictures. Much love to you! ❤️

Fabulous Charlie😊

Oh Charlie, that is so very beautiful and I love the sketch of Elliott. He so looks as though he has some Doberman in him, which would make him gentle and loving. Your writing reminded me that the people who live the longest, the people who live to 100 and over, all have one thing in common – they all (at least the ones I have been privileged to talk to) just focused on their actual needs rather than being obsessed with the world and things. Rest and loving yourself are important and that just gives you more love and more time to go around. We can all learn a lot from Elliott. <3

Charlie, not to worry about human culture as the world does not end til God tells it to. Take care and keep loving just like He told us to.

Elliott would be very hard to resist! I know that feeling of knowing a pet is right for you, love at first sight, and it always seem to be true when it comes to pets. They just somehow know how to choose us.

if only everyone would learn about life from dogs, we’d be a happier society for sure! Elliott’s a lucky dog to have found you and Philippe!

Awe Charlie what a wonderful story, our dog Pepper is 11 today we rescued her 9 years ago and she is amazing

Happy Birthday Elliot

ELLIOT! Happiest Birthday Ever, you lucky dog! Enjoy your lovely family!

That’s a beautiful painting, Charlie.

Beautifully written, Charlie! And a lovely painting of Elliot..<3

Hi Marisela, Not fun for sure so when my life did not work out I decided to let God take over. Wow! That truly is Amazing Grace. Stay well and be happy.

He definitely has us wrapped around his paws. Though they’re bigger paws… hehe. Elliott likes to sit in the grass and seems so content while we’re thinking it’s time to head back home… we definitely have much to learn! 😃💕

Indeed it is! Thanks so much, Kerfe! 😃💕

Thanks so much, Fanna! 😃💕 I’m happy you enjoyed this. Yes, we lost our Phineas at the start of the year, and somehow ended up with a puppy soon after. You can read the last post about Phineas here – https://doodlewash.com/farewell-phineas/

Hola, mi amiga! 😃💕 Yep… we refer to Elliott at a teenager now at home. Not sure why they jump from puppy to adult… he’s clearly in his teens by the way he acts! lol And, yes! You should choose YOU! And never let anyone make you feel like you are a lesser person. That always says more about them than it does about you, anyway. 😉 Much love to you!! ❤️

We were definitely tricked, Mugdha! 😃💕hehe… Elliott decided what he wanted and still tries to do that even now. He’s very sweet, but super willful and doesn’t like to wait for things. He also herds us and tries to keep us together when we’re on walks. That guy in the blue glasses still has much to learn, but he’s ready to enjoy the lessons! Much love to you! ❤️

Aww thanks so much, Marion! 😃💕

Agreed.

Fabulous Charlie😊

Beautiful Charlie!

Wonderful, Charlie!! Remembering my sister when I did todays prompt…keeping her close in my heart. When we first moved here there were lots of kids in the neighborhood and I decked our porch out with “spider webs” and black cats and scary lighting and had a blast. There were so many kids on our street it was like watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. The kids have all grown up and moved away so we don’t see anyone trick or treating anymore. Kind of miss the fun but we had a nice quiet evening together.

That’s a beautiful painting, Charlie.

I love the colors!! Awesome painting, Charlie..:)

Charlie you are such a dear and loving man! That there would be more Charlies!

Thanks so much!! 😃💕 Happy you enjoyed this post!

Greetings Marisela. I am well thanks and hugs back to you! Take care.

They can appear in dreams. What a beautiful gift!

The passing of my sister-in-law has added a family story to our vault. Both Merri and my brother are very spiritual and he was certain she’d send him a message, probably through an animal, so he decided he’d watch out for any unexpected ones. The next morning, he found a tiny tree frog about the size of his thumbnail sitting on his toilet seat! He immediately looked up the symbolism, which boils down to ’embrace change in leaps and bounds’. That is so Merri and exactly what she always said.

Thanks so much, Fanna! 😃💕

Hola, mi amiga! Thanks so much! 😃💕 I’m late to reply! hehe That’s such a lovely story of your father… what a beautiful image to see on your birthday. I think souls do return in that way… colorful and the most radiant things we remember about those we love. Much love to you!! ❤️

Thanks so much, Shawn! 😃💕
